In downtown drug store yesterday a
GLOBE reporter sat smoking cigar

pretty maid of about nineteen years.
growth tripped in through the doorway
and stepping up to the show case smiled
sweetly and asked the attendant if he
would sell her postage stamp.
The clerk smiled his lovlieSt smile and
said:
You can get them on the corner of Fifth
and Wabasha streets. We haven't any now.
The maiden went out in search of the
corner of Fifth and Wabasha streets,
where she undoubtedly found the post
office. She had been gone but few

in and said to the clerk:
Give me 2-cent postage stamp, will you?"
The clerk smiled again and said: I'VE
haven't got any. Just out. You can find them
on the corner of Jackson and Seventh Streets"
The fat woman, muttering something
about ''what kind of drug store is this,
anyway" went out and waddled off in
the direction of jackson and Seventh
streets.
About five minutes after she had gone
a man with broad shoulders and cast
